I am currently obsessed with this new show called Skins. It is so awesome. It is about a group of teenage friends in Bristol and their lives. It is so awesome. It started in England and is has now aired in Australia. I'm not sure about anywhere else. Here is the blurb from the back of the dvd from season one....
A brand new drama series from the makers of Shameless, Skins follows the lives of a group of racous friends in Bristol. Warm-hearted comedy, daring realism and lack of patronising moral absolutism, it is also a real rarity in TV - a drama about teenagers that is actually performed by teenagers.
Each weekly episode is a mixture of humorous, heartbreaking and sometimes shocking stories about a group of troublesome 17 years olds. All of them sunny, optimistic kids who get high, get drunk, get laid and get up for their A levels, all the while pushing boundaries and managing their parents like only teenagers can. These kids really grab life by the balls and then give it a twirl.
So that is it... it is a great show. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a little swearing and so on. Also, if anyone remembers the boy in About A Boy with Hugh Grant, he is one of the main characters in it.
